Just picked up my renewal long gun permit from the post office this afternoon. Second time I've done it, costs about $13 plus dollars, saves a trip back to main station to pick up. Anyways my renewal didn't have a photograph on it. Anyone else's have the same? Actually this is my 3rd renewal. My first was in 2000, when it was like a half sheet of typed paper. I re-applied in July 2020 and just renewed July 2nd 2021 and picked up today the 21st from the post office. Back to the original question. Anyone else get their renewal permit with no photograph? Thanks!

That’s ok…been that way for awhile. Permit for handgun will have on on there since the take a new mug shot each time you apply….

Hawaii politicians and hpd treat the law-abiding citizens like criminals. And treat the criminals like welfare recipients.

I don't know what this is all about, over the past year they only ever took my photo for the first long gun permit. All the pistol permits I didn't get mug shotted.

First timers and long-gun permit renewals will get their pictures taken. Handgun permits (other than first timers) won’t get their picture taken.
The photograph on the permit itself is a cosmetic thing. The photographs are all kept in the HPD firearms database.

I renewed my long gun permit this year for the first time since RAPBACK started. They took my photo. They hadn't done that in all the years prior to RAPBACK. Since RAPBACK is a biometric database, it's likely they need a recent photo for that database -- or the Hawaii Criminal Justice Database, whichever is really being used.
I suspect if I still look like that photo the next time, they'll use the file photo and not take a new one.
It's really no big deal, since you would normally present a photo ID when using a permit to acquire. I think having the photo on the permit itself is unnecessary, but it's probably a hold-over from long ago.
If you're trying to apply logic and reasoning to the laws and processes surrounding firearms in Hawaii, you might as well be trying to catch air in a butterfly net!
